None of the 62 vessels our AIS feed observed within 25 nm of Montreal between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026 broadcast an IMO number on the OFAC, EU, UK or UN sanctions list today. The feed saw only part of the traffic, so this does not mean no listed vessel called here. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.

Between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026, ArcNautical's AIS feed observed 62 distinct vessels at Montreal, with Cargo making up 63% of those with a ship-type code — higher than the North Atlantic regional average of 49%. Montreal in Canada sits along the backbone of transatlantic trade between Europe and the Americas. The North Atlantic is generally lower-risk than active piracy or conflict zones, but its weather is among the most powerful on Earth. The winter storm season (November–March) produces sustained gale-force winds, significant wave heights above 10 metres, and reduced visibility. The Great Circle route between Northern Europe and the US East Coast passes through peak storm activity, and the choice between a shorter rougher track and a longer calmer deviation has material financial implications. EU and US sanctions enforcement adds compliance overhead — both maintain extensive regimes that require thorough vessel and ownership-chain vetting.
Routed sea distances from Montreal to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
Our AIS feed observed 62 distinct vessels at Montreal between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026; 60 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories:

Canada is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Montreal is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
